Police removed the clothing after a telephone caller reported it, spokesman Jorgen Thomsen said. The statue sculpted in tribute to author Hans Christian Andersen draws about 1 million visitors a year and is targeted occasionally by vandals. On Tuesday, the statue's face, left arm and lap were found doused with red paint. It just gets weirder and weirder over there. That poor mermaid has been defaced (here <http://www.cbc.ca/arts/artdesign/story/2007/05/17/mermaid-copenhagen-vandal .html?ref=rss> ) In addition to the paint assaults over the years, Eriksen's 1.5-metre bronze has been beheaded, toppled from its perch - which can be easily reached from a stone walkway and nearby rocks - pawed by tourists seeking a close-up peek, had one arm sliced off, and been accessorized with sex toys, sashes and other objects.
